| Martin Logan Vista spks versus Maggie 1.7 speakers. Best speaker for medium size room?? Jim, Brooks Berdan Ltd. is an Eminent Technology dealer, and last time I was there they had a pair of LFT-8b to listen to. Some people prefer it to the 1.7, roughly the same price.

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report You know what was better loomis? Playing with Emitt Rhodes! I did his late-90's Poptopia appearance with him. His first time on stage in a quarter century, and people came from all over the world to see and hear him. In the band was Jamie Hoover (... | |

| Drying time after a VPI record cleaner? I’m just pleased to see so many responses to a question about source material, an indicator that it is the music we care most about!I got my VPI HW-17F precisely because I was not satisfied with the drying abilities of the Nitty Gritty I had previ... | |
| Hostility from manufacturers As everyone has been saying, it depends on the company owner, or in bigger companies, their policies. Everyone is pretty happy with ARC in the latter. In the former, Bruce Thigpen of Eminent Technology is great to deal with, as is Roger Modjeski o... | |
